Guernsey Cattle for the Dairy.

The islands of Guernsey and Jersey lie
very near each other, yet there Is a quite
perceptible difference between the climates
of the two. This is caused by the respec-
tive conformations of the islands. The
highest land in Jersey is at its northern
end, from which it slopes gradually to the
south, while Guernsey presents an aspect
directly the reverse, having general
northern slope. The climate of jersey is
consequently softer and milder than that
of its sister island, with higher average
temperature. This climatic diversity has
doubtless had some influence upon the
respective races of cattle, which are pc
culiar to the islands, though their differ
ent characteristics are mainly the result Of
breeding and selection. The Guernseys
are larger and heavier than the Jerseys,
and have greater tendency to put on
flesh when they cease giving milk. The
Jerseys are the finer race, the Guernseys
less finely built, and somewhat more
hardy. The latter have no butter
record to compare with the phenomen-
al performances of the Jerseys, yet
they have proved very valuable as dairy
cows. Their flow of milk is abundant and
long continued, and the milk is very rich
in butter fats. When crossed upon the
Shorthorns or common "native" COWS, the
crosses and grades of Guernsey have been
very successful as dairy cows. Hon.
Lewis F. Allen. of Buffalo, N Y. after
having long been the historian and record
er of the Shorthorns, showed his faith in
the Guernseys few years ago, by estab
llshing on his Grand Island farm, dairy
herd of cross bred Guernsey and Short
horn. The trial has proved eminently sue
cessful and satisfactory. There are so
many points of affinity between the two
races. that the cross is very natural one.
Encouraged by Mr.. Aliens success, Others
have bred the DEMONSTRATION cross,
and in every case that has so far been
made public, it has proved satisfactory,
The cows tor such a cross should be chosen

What Breeders are Doing.

Judging by the tone OF their converse
ton and correspondence, breeders of pure
bred sheep for the trade have been having
a very mixed outcome IN their business
There are number who report that while
their sales in the last two or three wears
have not been as large or as easily made
as at other periods in their experience,
they have nevertheless made little
money, and have done fully as we'll as in
anything else which they could have I'M
dertaken. And, by a coincidence which
is not at all singular, these men are al
most uniformly among those who have not
failed to keep themselves and their bust
ness prominently before the public under
all circumstances. There are others who
have sold more or less sheep in that time,
but have nevertheless failed to make any
money-for the reason that at the begin
ming of the sheep panic they were heavi-
ly loaded with sheep bought at fancy
prices, and have not been able to realize
such prices as would let them out on their
investment. And perhaps the greater
number of breeders are not quite certain
whether they have not come out ahead or
behind in the period of which we are
speaking.
In the panic over the wool business peo-
pie turned very largely toward the breeds
which base their claims principally on the
mutton feature, and some breeds of Eng
fish sheep have in consequence enjoyed a
boom in the midst of general depression.
This has been aided. too. by an increased
inquiry for long, medium and cross bred
woods. Confidence is the fine wool breeds
is being regained, however, and this is
aided by the general tendency in this line
of breeding to give more attention to the
development OF mutton characteristics.
All kinds of sheep therefore apparently
have sucn prospects ahead as clearly
justify increased cheerfulness among
breeders. The day of fancy prices, though,
has not returned, nor does it seem to be
near at hand. Such prices as have ruled
at times in this country, indeed, have
over-stimuated the business and while
thoughtful sheepmen naturally desire
better returns than they are now recev-
ing, they can hardly wish to revert to the
conditions under which their business was
so badly observation-disclosures Stockmaam.

1t is getting to be a serious question
what we shall do with the hordes of in
sects which prey upon our cultivated
crops. They become more numerous,
apparently, each year, and the farmer and
fruit grower has a more difficult task to
perform in combating their ravages.
We have steadily opposed the use of Paris
green-excepting in the potato field-and
think it cannot be safely used as solu.
ton for spraying our apple trees for the
codlng moth. For this we have favored
the kerosene emulsion, according to the
formula given by Prof. Riley of the de-
partment of agriculture but the opinion
of Mr.. Carman editor of the Rural New
Yorker, has made US skeptical of its sue
cess. He says that with him it has proved
unsuccessful, and has injured about as
many plants as it has killed insects. 1t
is difficult to keep or retain it as com.

Make HOrticulturlsts of the Girls.

| A good deal is said about boys choosing
occupations, and much good advice is
given them concerning this important
step in life. Seldom. however. are the
girls advised as to what they should fit
themselves for. that they may be able to
earn living and contribute TO the sup
port of those who may be dependent upon
them. True, girls are supposed to marry
and keep house for their husbands who
are expected to do the supporting and
housekeeping, properly learned and fol
lowed, is no simple business, and con-
tributes very largely to the husbands
efforts at bread winning. But the fact is
that in some sections there are hundreds
and thousands more women than men.

stlrseeiiane0ns.

But little that is new has been exhibited
so tar this autumn in the way of agricul-
tural implements. For several years past
the rage of manufacturers has been to get
up some new implement or machine to
show at the fairs and sell to farmers. In
consequence of this craze, as many farm
ers know, new and impracticable imple-
ments have been brought out each year,
until, if anything, we have too many ma
chimes for working ordinary farms. The
manufacturers make to sell and there are
farmers who will buy them; but many
are the implements that have proved un-
satisfactory after few days trial. and
they are now reposing uselessly in the
barn cellar or storehouse, a monument OF
hard earned dollars toolishlv expended.
Our agricultural implements are the best
in the world, but farmers should stick to
the few necessary, standard, we'll made
implements, and let the novelties
severely alone.

WEAVING and Feeding Lambs.

1t is now time that all sheep-growers
should wean their lambs, so that the breed
ing ewes may have time to recuperate. and
thus be in good condition to commence the
coming breeding season. Also if any
should be drawn from the flock, as no
longer fit for breeders, they can be fat
tened tor the butcher more readily in the
early Fall than later in the season.
The lambs should have good fresh feed,
and. if possible. be kept out of hearing of
their dams, for a few days at least. They
should have feed of grain daily, so that,
instead of falling away in flesh, they may
gain daily in flesh and growth. This is a
matter that the common farmer does not
attend to as strictly as he ought to do for
the good of his flock and his income from
it. 1t makes quite difference with the
growth and value of his flock whether the
lambs are so cared for at weaving time
that they gain daily, or are suffered to fall
off in condition. If they lose condition at
this time it is harder to restore the loss
than to maintain them in good condition
from the start. My practice is to give a
daily feed of grain. of oats and wheat bran,
with little oilmeal. about P. NJ, be-
ginning with small ration, with little
salt, and increasing the ration as they get
used to and require it. By this means
they become gentle, and will come to
their feeding troughs at the accustomed
time with an appetite that would surprise
those who have never tried such course
of feeding. The tattening ewes should
also be fed on grain if desired to push
them forward as rapidly as possible. In
their case | would add corn to their "a.
